Mountains, Lakes, Coastlines, and Historic Routes

From the fells and lakes of the Lake District to the coastline of the Solway Coast and the valleys of the western Pennines, Cumbria contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, water, and centuries of movement through the land. Trails such as the Cumbria Way, Coast to Coast Path, Hadrian's Wall Path, and Pennine Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including the Lake District National Park, Solway Coast National Landscape, Yorkshire Dales National Park, and North Pennines National Landscape showcase some of the county's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through mountain terrain, lakeside landscapes, woodland, river valleys, coastline, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of Cumbria for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of the county while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
